It was a full day… feeding Daniel’s baby bulls… (Note the vultures soaking up the morning sun in the cottonwood behind them) Weighing, pouring, and vaccinating the yearling heifers… We weigh them individually to chart their growth, and pour de-wormer on their backs (like you put on tick and flea medicine on your dog) and…

Top 100 Wyoming Bloggers
I’m sure I’ve mentioned this before… or at least partially… but I have a big interest in creating a Wyoming Bloggers group. Why? Just to help each other share this experience… Share ideas and how-to’s of blogging, along with reaching out to more readers. Plus, I believe we sit in a fairly unique state. Wyoming,…
Good Boys
The boys are gone, but Victoria and Matt came over to help in whatever way they could… The choice was made to move some more cows out to the BLM allotment. That left Megan and I to watch three little boys… and I let ’em go wherever they wanted! Mud puddle? You bet. Splash and…
Improvement
I’d say it’s an improvement!
Hugelkultur
Yup. A day that actually acted like April. It was great! Unfortunately, I spent most of it in the library… but that’s ok. It didn’t give me much of an opportunity to take photos, however… so instead, I’m going to share an idea that I ran across a couple of weeks ago. There’s another Wyoming…
Wordless Wednesday – “Chieftan”

Halfway Stylin’
Snow. Wet snow. Lots of it. It looks like Christmas again! I started (finally) to whip up a valance for my Indian room from the old drapes that were in there, and had barely marked it out, when Vernon said he was going to work on my little minitruck! Yay! The tires have always been…
Frostography
I had the opportunity to take some amazing photos today… and pretty much messed them up. They were out of focus, partially my fault, partially the camera’s automatic focus. The only thing that keeps me from spitting and kicking the dirt, is that I can go back… try again… take a few more. Then perhaps…
Warm Light and Vultures
Finally. Warm light. and vultures. It must be spring!
Drama. Queen.
Today warmed up some, the best we’ve had, so I decided to transfer the bees to my top bar hive. I lifted the feeder. No movement. I lifted the lid. No movement. Crud. I lifted off the box, and there were my bees, in a pile. An unmoving pile. It looked like they had been…
